Action: between skits a scout walks to the front of the fire in the way of the MC and starts searching for something. MC asks "what are looking for?" scout replies with "my flashlight" (or whatever). MC asks "where did you lose it?" Scout points off in the darkness and replies "over there somewhere." while still looking for his lost item around the campfire. MC asks "well why are looking here then?" Scout replies "the light's better!"

The Lost Quarter

Need: 5 or more scouts.

Scene: One person acts as a lamp post, shining a flashlight on the ground. Another is groping around in the pool of light. (He's Scout One).

A third person enters, sees Scout One, and asks: "What are you looking for?"

Scout One: "A quarter that I lost".

He joins # 1, and helps him search. A fourth and fifth enter and repeat the above scene.

Finally one of them asks Scout One: "Where did you loose the quarter ?"

Scout One: (Pointing away) "Over there"

Other Scout: "Then why are you looking here ?"

Scout One: "Because the light is better over here!"
